Myth and Morality in «Alexandre Chenevert» by Gabrielle Roy (Europäische Hochschulschriften / European University Studies / Publications Universitaires Européennes) - Softcover
The purpose of this study is to present two different but complementary readings of the novel and to offer the reader some sources and origins for what was later to develop into the novel. Chapter One, «Mythic Dimensions», presents a «vertical» approach, in that it examines Alexandre's revelation, his encounter with a divine presence and a transcendent reality. Chapter Two of this volume, «Morality», is an analysis of the text from a humanist viewpoint, primarily taking into account Alexandre's relationship with his fellow man, what might be termed a «horizontal» study. The novel sustains both levels of interpretation, and others, and proves in the process that it is perhaps Gabrielle Roy's most profound work.
